Q4. Most of #Yosemite (nearly 95%) is designated wilderness. What does "wilderness" mean to you? #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4) To me personally, wilderness means an area where nature can be itself with as little human interactions as possible. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4) No #SelfieSticks within 10 miles. #ParkChat


replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4. #Parkchat No trace of human population and land/water left for nature, accessible but only to those who are capable AND responsible.

A4: Wilderness means … waking up to a Sierra sunrise in a quiet spot, far from the sound of cars. #ParkChat


replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4 Wildlife. Hiking trails. Beauty for my soul. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4: Wilderness is the areas untouched by human improvement, at least as little as possible. #ParkChat

A4. Land protected both for its intrinsic value AND the social benefits it provides for people. No motorized anything, ever. 240 characters aren't really enough for this question. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4) A non-harassed, wild area of land that is left to itself to be enjoyed by all creatures (including humans). I'll admit "wilderness" for me means endless trees. #ParkChat


replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4 #ParkChat Wilderness is a quiet place where nature has a chance to be natural and fewer people tread.


replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4. Aside from the legal definition used in the designation, my idea of wilderness is an area where I can get a sense of what existed before European settlement. #parkchat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4. I'm often surprised that wilderness can be designated within just a few dozen feet of a paved road. To me, true wilderness is a place where you hear the sounds of nature - and no longer hear internal combustion engines. (Yosemite has lots of those places!) #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4) That's a question Id have to think about for too long to answer here, but I can say it's what we dont have enough of. #Parkchat,
